Read : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/intent.asp which gives the definition of dual intent for students, it applies to visitors and workers as well. PMM |

Back to the dual intent, as I'm still not clear about it in my friend's case. Does the person have to be enrolled in a College or University course. Or can it be an ESL course. Secondly, if someone does come here to study English, then change course or program, and after that wants to live here . How long (roughly) will it take to get Permanent Resident? Will they be denied??

Dual intent means...
You have a permenent residence application in to immigrate here.
You also want to come visit while you are waiting and get a Temporary visa for the visit.
Basically you are allowed to visit for other reasons while you are trying to immigrate as well. You still have to follow all the rules of the temporary visa.

This explains it very well. Basically, dual intent means that while you may intend to immigrate to Canada permanently (i.e. you have an open PR application), you can still enter Canada as a visitor in the meantime. However, if you are going to do this, ask your lawyer (if you have one) for a letter explaining dual intent so you can show it to the BSO if they are having a hard time figuring it out. Dual intent means...
You have a permenent residence application in to immigrate here.

Pretending to go to Canada for one reason,But Actually going for another reason,For example going as a temporary Foriegn Worker,But intending to Immigrate instead This is wrong. That is just lying and trying to sneak into Canada illegally. Dual intent means you are allowed to have TWO intentions. You intend to immigrate, and you intend to just visit in the meantime. This is allowed because Canada allows dual intent. The opposite is true in the U.S....they do not accept dual intent so if you apply to immigrate...you will never get a visitor visa at the same time. |

I found this on the CanadaVisa site:
An individual submits an application for a Canada Immigration Visa. Before receiving the Canada Immigration Visa, the individual wishes to visit Canada for a short time and applies for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), or appears at the Port of Entry, if a national of a TRV exempt country. This is perfectly acceptable as long as the individual intends to leave Canada at the end of the visit.
If one intends to Immigrate to Canada, how can one then state that they will leave at the end of the visit? Help me to understand this. It seems quite contradictory.

It is like if you are applying for your immigration but while you are waiting (for months or even years) you decide to make a short visit of a couple of weeks to research the job market or the housing market or check out the landscape or whatever and you are going to leave Canada at the end of this short vacation and continue to wait for your immigration back in your homeland.

Ok, thanks Leon. That would mean that you have some kind of "grounds" for the initial application of immigration.
